12 Consequences of Attacking Iran

The murdered Israeli leader Gen. Yitzhak Rabin opposed the First Gulf
War in 1990, warning that one never knows when starting a war where it
will lead. As Bush and the neocons are reportedly planning to attack
Iran, we should all think of the likely consequences.
Most Americans already believe that George Bush is not much influenced
by facts, but rather by his ideology. Already he is reportedly
thinking of his legacy and dreaming that history will prove him
"right." More disturbing are his religious beliefs, in particular his
daily readings of Scottish preacher Oswald Chambers, who argues that
if plans and events go wrong, it just means that God is testing
believers' faith, not that strategies should be changed. This may also
explain Bush's aversion to diplomacy. After all, God does not
"negotiate" with evil.
